LOVE AND MARRIAGE According to the Bible, you have to love your mate. Why there are so many couples, who have married without love? In history there are a few exaples about marriages which based on the wealth and a glory For example Mary, the Queen of Scots married without love with Lord Darnley. Centuries later Charles, Prince of Wales married with Diana, barely knowing her. In this time, the upper class had to marry with their kind of people. In India, women have to marry with the men, who their parents have chosen for them. In my opinion people shouldn't marry, when they don't have feelings for each other or when they barely know each other.The religion shouldn't be also a reason for marriage. There's no point of it, when after the month or two they will divorce.

As a Roman Catholic, Mary began her reign by sweeping awa...

Inglise kodusõda Inglise kodusõda on koondnimetus konfliktidele, mis leidsid rojalistide ja Inglise parlamendi vahel aset aastatel 16421651 peamiselt Inglismaal, ent ulatusid ka Sotimaale, Iirimaale ja Walesi. Mõnikord peetakse Inglise kodusõja alguseks ka 1639. või 1640. aastat, mil kuningas Charles I-l tekkisid vastuolud sotlastega ja kutsuti kokku nn Pikk parlament. Kodusõja lõpuks on loetud ka 1649. aastat, kui Charles I hukati või 1652. aastat, mil Oliver Cromwell vallutas Iirimaa ning viimased rojalistid Sotimaal alistusid. Viimasel ajal jagatakse Inglise kodusõda tihti kolmeks eraldi sõjaks või vähemalt etapiks: esimene (16421646) ja teine (1647/16481649) toimusid kuningas Charles I ja parlamendi vahel ning kolmas (16491651/1652) Charles II toetajate ja parlamendi vahel. Paralleelselt toimusid sisesõjad ning rahutused ka Iirimaal (16411652, nn Kaheteistaastane sõda) ja Sotimaal (Esimen...
These two chapters highlight the kinds of commentary Swift makes throughout the novel. By describing a society that chooses its highest officials with silly competitions like seeing who can jump the highest on a tightrope, Swift is poking fun at the way officials are chosen in England. He is also commenting on the disturbing trend of politicians who are willing to do whatever it takes to gain favour in the courtincluding humiliating themselves. The danger of ambition is also figured here; jumping badly can lead to death. Having Gulliver stand with his legs apart so that the Lilliputian armies can walk through is also a ridiculous idea. It is a comment on the pomp and circumstance of English armies. To Swift it seems that armies are often more concerned with looking impressive than with being impressive. This scene might also be an allusion to the Colossus of Rhodes, described in Julius Caesar by Shakespeare as a largerthanlife ...
Australia Topic Koostas: Aineõpetaja: Tallinn 2011 Location Only one country in the world fills a whole continent. That country is Australia. The continent it fills is Australia, too. Australia, then, is both a country and a continent. If someone wants to make clear that he is speaking of the country, he may call it by its full name of Commonwealth of Australia. Sixty million years ago Australia and its nearby islands were separated from the rest of the world by a great upheaval. They were cut off from Asia by the ocean. Very few people and almost no animals visited Australia before English colonists began to settle there in 1788. During all those 60 million years the native Australian mammals developed by themselves, undisturbed by the animals developing elsewhere. Australia is the only continent except Antarctica that is all sout...

Tööstusliku revolutsiooni olemus 18. sajandil leidsid aset põhjalikud muutused tehnoloogilises arengus. 1 põhjus: Uute kaupade toomisel hakati inimese töö asemel senisest enam kasutama masinaid. 2. põhjus: Seni tootmise veduriks olnud manufaktuurid hakkasid järg-järgult asenduma vabrikutega. See murranguline pööre tootmises kujuneski tööstusrevolutsiooni aluseks. Lisaks masinatele oli tootmise uuendamiseks vaja raha ning inimesi, kes masinatega tööle hakkaksid. Tootmise uuendamiseks oli vaja ka raha ning inimesi. Ühtlasi hakkasid vabrikute- ettevõtete omanikud järjest enam huvi tundma ka uute tehniliste leiutiste vastu ning nende väljatöötamist vähemalt osaliselt rahastama.

Over the centuries, mutation produced a wide array of colours based on 2 different pigments. Eumelanin gives the blacks, browns and blues while phaeomelanin gives the reds, fawns and creams. A few other genes give further variations on those colours such silvers, colourpoints and solids/selfs. Mutations continue to occur and unexpected colours also turn up due to inbreeding where recessive genes, hidden for generations, start showing up.
